~ Familiar Stranger. ~
Remember Me?
I'm unconcious, but I know it. I can't open my eyes.
I heard a voice talking to me dearly, but I can't understand what that person's saying.. Who is it? I want to open my eyes, why can't I? Am I dead..? or am I just having a dream?
I felt the warm sunshine touching my face, finally I open my eyes. I looked around the room I'm in with blurry vision, feeling a little bit dizzy. Suddenly, an object.. no, a person, approached near me and sat on a chair near the bed I was on. He asked me
" Are you alright now? "
Right infront of me, I saw a man with medium-long, black hair. He's aura is that of a..rockstar? I don't know what to say. First of all, why's he here with me?
" W-Who are you?! " I sat up from the bed I was laying from. I stared at him and he chuckled.
" Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. " he gently smiled and rubbed my head, messing my hair a bit. I looked at him, puzzled.
" Why am I with you? Did you kidnap me? " I bluntly asked this unknown man.
" Eh?! No no no.. You're getting it all wrong. I suddenly saw you looking all pale and dizzy in the streets. You fainted. " he looked surprised when I accused him of being a kidnapper. He explained to me but I couldn't stop thinking. Why didn't he just bring me to a hospital? Why am I at his home?
I wanted to ask him, but I didn't do so. He did a kind deed to me, but.. I feel suspicious. I couldn't trust him yet. I kept silent and strongly stared at him.
" O-Oy, don't stare at me like that. " he uncomfortably said.
The longer I look at him, I realize how good-looking he is, despite the dark eye make-up he's wearing. Though I hate to admit it, he is kind of my type.
" What's your name? " I asked, curious about this person's thoughts.
" Oh, sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Shiroyama Yuu, you can call me Aoi. "
" Eh? Your name's Yuu.. but why do you want me to call you "Aoi' ? " I was confused.
" Uhmm.. You realllllllly don't know me? " he asked. He's a stranger to me, of course I wouldn't recognize him.
" Yes, I don't " I said bluntly.
" I'm the guitarist of a band called "the GazettE" d-do you know us? " he tilted his head to the right and asked.
" the GazettE? Sorry, doesn't ring a bell. "
" Eh~ " he looked dissappointed.
Wow, so I'm with a celebrity, huh. Too bad I don't know him that much. But his face reminds me of someone familiar, now that his face is up close. It really does, but I don't remember who, or when I've seen it...
"Are you hungry, __________-chan? "
" How did you know my name? '
" Uhh.. I looked at y-your wallet and saw. " he stuttered as he spoke to me.
" so you really don't recognize me now.. " I heard him say those words in a low voice. Why would he say that to a stranger like me? I wanted to make sure what I heard was correct so I asked :
"What? "
" Oh, nothing (^-^) " he said, as if hiding something from me.
" Uh.. Okay. "
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He brought me to his kitchen to eat something. He opened the refrigerator and got a burger, still wrapped.
" Uhh.. this is all I have right now since I haven't been out shopping " he scratched his head and said.
" That's fine, I like burgers. " I smiled at him and sat down at the dining table. Though he is an unfamiliar face, I strangely feel at ease the longer I'm with him.
He placed the burger in a plate and put in inside the microwave to heat.
After a few minutes, the food was ready then he placed it on the table.
" Eat up (^^) " again, he smiled as he told me to eat.
" I-Itadakimasu " I said shyly before eating.
He watched me thoroughly as I ate. It made me uncomfortable. There was a strange silence between the both of us, I wanted to break it so I asked :
" Aren't you going to eat too? "
" No, it's fine. I'm not hungry. " he shaked his head and smiled again.
" Sorry but..Why are you so kind to me? I don't even know you. " I said bluntly, questioning his kindness.
" Hmm.. because........
* RING RING RING *
His phone loudly rang before even finishing his sentence. Because what..? I wanted to know.
" Hello? " he reached for the phone on his pocket and answered.
" EH? REALLY? O-Okay okay, sorry. I'll be there. " he hang up and stood up from the chair.
I looked at him as I was wiping my ketchup-filled-face.
" Ah. Sorry ___________-chan. I'm late for band practice. I'll see you later when I get home. I-if you want to, I'll drop you home.. when I get back. " he said when he noticed me looking at him.
" O-Okay.. I'll wait. " I said as I stood up and placed the empty plate together with few dirty dishes on the sink.
I went to his living room and waited for him to get out of the bathroom since he was getting ready to go. I felt like I didn't want to leave his place for some reason. I feel weird.
I heard the bathroom door open, I turned around and saw him all dressed up, touching up his hair and carrying his guitar case on his shoulders.
" Take care on your way to band practice. " I suddenly said. Why did I say that? We're not close or anything. WHYYYYYYYYYY. I felt really embarassed that I can't look him in the eyes after that.
" Hahaha! You're so adorable.. Thank you (^-^) " he told me. Phew.. It's good that he didn't find me weird.
" I'll be going now.. Just.. feel at home, okay? " he told me as he went to the door, unlocking it and leaving.
" Bye :) "
I'm still uncomfortably sitting on his sofa. It was so quiet, I didn't have anything to do. I decided to grab the remote control and watch TV.
I impatiently watched the uninteresting shows. I felt really bored since I had no one to talk to. Did I have a bag when I fainted? Maybe I have a phone there.. so could contact my family. I stood up and looked for my bag, if I brought one. I searched here and there but I didn't see anything.
WAIT. But didn't he say he knew my name when he saw it in my wallet? I don't have a bag.. I don't have a wallet in my pocket either.. HOW?
I returned to the living room feeling suspicious and sat back down.
I changed the channels constantly. Again, I looked around my surroundings. Then I noticed a small shelf with 3 layers at the side of the sofa. It had several books and photo albums. I got several books and notebooks to read. I found out that he's 25 right now.. A cfew years older than me and that he was born on January 20th..
After seeing some info about him, I reached out my hand to take another thing. I grabbed one photo album and opened it. It was pictures of him as a child, then a teenager! He really is good-looking enough to make me blush. Suddenly, a paper fell to the ground, probably from the album. I got it and looked.....
"..........eh? "
I was shocked to see a picture of ME, when I was 12 years old. I'm ___ now. It's been a while since that picture was taken so.......why does he have it. I looked at the picture more, scanning if it was really me or just a kid who looks like me.
BUT NOOOOOOOO! It really was me! The hair, the clothes I wore, it was all the same! How can he have it.. I only met him now.......right?
Several hours passed and I heard the door open. I was surprised and tried to act calmly, welcoming him home.
" I'm home.. " he said, with a tired look on his face.
"Welcome home.. A-Aoi-san. "
The tired look on his face suddenly fade away.
" That's the first time you called out my name today.. " he gently smiled.
" Why... " a word suddenly slipped out of my mouth.
"Hm?" he looked confused.
" Why.... do you have a picture of me? " I bluntly asked.
" W-What are you talking about " he was stuttering. I can see his lying.
" Here. " I grabbed the photo album and showed him the picture that was inside of it.
" Oh....... I didn't want you to find out this way. " he lowered his head as he spoke to me.
" Find out what? "
" ___________-chan.. You've grown up so much. "
" W-What do you mean? You know me even before? " I asked slightly creeped out.
" Yes. You..really don't know me? " he asked again.
" No, I'm sorry! " I answered the same thing to his question.
" Kawaii-chan. " he said. What? "Kawaii-chan" ? W-Wha..
THEN. Suddenly I remembered... there was someone from way back that called me that.
" Kawaii-chan.. will you miss me? "
"Y-Yes, Yuu-kun!! I will " I cried out loud as I saw him packing up to leave.
" I'll miss you too. Be a good little girl, okay? " he said as he pats my head gently.
" I will.. Byebye.. Yuu-kun ''
A flashback suddenly popped up in my mind. Suddenly, a tear fell from my eye..How stupid. How can I forget..
.......my first love.
" Yuu-kun.. " I whispered..
" FInally, you remembered. " he said as he wiped up the flowing tears from my eye.
" B-But wasn't your last name different? "
" Yeah.. My mom got divorced so she married again.. then.. Here I am with a new surname " he explained to me.
I unconciously hugged him tightly.. Now I realized why I felt at ease being with him. I cried because of happiness, being able to see him again. He hugged me back gently..
" I missed you.. "
" I'm sorry... " I said as I released him.
" Eh.. Why? "
" I'm sorry I forgot about you.. It's just that you.. look different now......in a good way. " I shyly said.
" hahaha xD Seriously!! there's a reason why a nicknamed you "Kawaii-chan~" ... It's okay now. I kind of lied to you too! " He suddenly took out a girly-looking bag from his backpack. It was mine! So I did have a bag.. He hid it from me!!
" Sorry,~. I didn't want you to leave me yet. " he apologized like a child and laughed.
But..... what the heck, I can forgive him easily.
He saw my surprised look, then..held my face and kissed my forehead sweetly.
" I'm glad I saw you again,Kawaii-chan. "
